Work in Progress

Locomotive BR 50, from Italeri in 1:87 scale, will be around 27 cm long. It is my new project. Model is very complicated. Too many pieces, painting before gluing.... So it takes very long time. See pictures of beginning.

I like your work on this Locomotive very much indeed. i`m sure it will look Great when it`s finished.The question why are there not more model Loco`s? Is that there is no great profit in producing them unless they are motorized.Most people who buy Loco`s and the Trains they pull because they want to run them on a layout. BB

... if You like the weathering I used... I try mix technique. I paint it with mix between wet and dry brush. I used wide brush with drop of wet paint and do it like dry brush. With this technique you have paint under control, don´t use too much paint and it looks like it is old. Also the paint on the base, blue , white, brown, and copper will be visible, you can control it, You have to start from bottom to top of model, bottom is the darkness, top lighter. As you can see, blue or white part help you to have final effect. It is not very visible on picture only in real model Some small parts you have to paint with clasic method. See picture
